Welcome to Gaia! ::

Using water maniplation, Z used his mind to control the moisture in the air. "This is going to suck..." Z sighed as he made a giant ball of water hover above them. Clutching tightly around Cherry, Z released the ball of water as it cascaded atop of them, cooling the two off and hopefully wake Cherry up. In any case it would diminish any fiery genjutsus inflicted upon him since he was now wet. "Come on Cherry...stay with me, I know it hurts but you've got to fight it, you're stronger than that...and frankly I don't feel like loosing my first student...if I'm going to loose a student it's because I killed them through intensive training," Z yelled.

Wow...wish there was something I could do...but I was no medical shinobi...I was merely a hunter nin back when I was alive.

Hakuren slowly walked over and stood body Cherry's body. "Do you wish for the pain to go away?" She asked, crouching down to Cherry's level.

(I'm holding her in my arms)

"What do you plan to do?" Z asked as another ball of water splashed over them. "Cherry...listen to me, it's not real. Nothing is true! Meaning that whatever it is inside of you isn't true...it's not real. Now snap out of it!"

Look into My Pink Eyes...

xxxxxxxxxx"Nothing..." Cherry whispered through clenched teeth. "N-Nothing is true... Nothing is true..." The pain and the fire receeded slightly. "Everything is... permitted..." She gasped, body convulsing suddenly. "Nothing!" She yelled, a hand grasping onto Z. "It's false!" She said, desperation only just peeking through the haze of pain and confusion. The flames died down to a thin sheet of swirling flame, circling round Cherry and Z, still like a cocoon. "False..." Cherry whispered, her body shaking once more, the pain creeping away like a nightmare. The flames remained behind, but no longer pressed its heat onto Cherry's body. It became a harmless illusion to Z once more. It only stayed out of Cherry's will for it to be so. The pain still stabbed at her brain occasionally, making her body flich horribly. Her father stepped through the flames easily, his dark eyes looking at Z. "Hand her to me." He commanded, voice stiff with the effort of staying emotionless.

Look into My Pink Eyes...

xxxxxxxxxxCherry's father remained unmoving. "She's lived a good life." He said, feeling the half-lie rolol off his tongue roughly. "She needs to be taken care of before this happens again. Even you had difficulty with her power. She's a threat to the entire village." He tried to reason, but the dark sadness was evident in his eyes. Cherry cringed, the pain pressing against her mind still. She curled tighter around Z, her one hand holding onto the male going white from the strain as her hold increased in strength. "She still hasn't beaten it! She needs to die now before she wakes up!"

Z felt her squeeze him tightly as he kept his eyes on her father. Ezio moved next to Z and placed his hand on Cherry's forehead. His cold touch was like an ice pack as he laid it on top of her. "Wether your her father or not doesn't matter anymore. She is no longer yours...she is my soldier...the Mizukage has put me in charge of her. If this happens again, rest assured I will not hesitate to kill her myself. But if you lay a hand on her now, I will do things to you that not even your worst nightmares can imagine," Z declared.

Hauren had been sitting beside Kenji, although unknowning ly, and watched as everything had happened. "How boring..." She mumbled.
